This restaurant is situated in the California Market Center in Downtown Los Angeles. I was attending the Los Angeles Textile Show, and my friend & I had to grab a quick bite to eat, and then continue sourcing fabric.

We had been here about 6 months before, and while the sushi was good, the place was dark and drab. It was convenient, so we decided to return today.

Well, in the last few months, they have changed owners and completely revamped the place - it's spectacular now! Light and bright and modern, it totally fits the aesthetic of the LA Mart and the fashion forward vibe.

While we were standing outside trying to remember if it was the same place as last time, one of the waiters brought out some samples on a beautiful platter - dragon rolls; they were delicious, and our minds were made!

We sat in a little booth and perused a well laid out menu. I got a sushi sampler platter that included 8 different pieces (tuna, salmon, albacore, shrimp, whitefish, a california roll, and one other piece I can't remember). The presentation was beautiful and served quickly. My friend got the same thing, and her mother ordered the Rock n' Roll, which was a cucumber roll with several kinds of fish - it was stunning.

Moderately priced - the sushi combos were about $16. Will definitely return - by the time we left, the place was packed.
